Thank you for your question. Sensitivity, and irregularities are common, and subside in several weeks. Use of the VaserShape can reduce the irregularities dramatically. We recommend weekly treatments, and usually 4-6 are required to get long lasting improvements. I hope this helps.

Are lumps after liposuction "normal"? Not exactly normal, but certainly possible. Small areas of induration or inflammation will resolve. Fat necrosis can occur and usually improves over time. Some improvement can be seen with massage, lymphatic drainage, or even rolling. Important to note if these lumps are within the skin versus under it. An evaluation by your surgeon would be most helpful with determining this.
